Claire Dugan
Hypnobirthing Coach & Birth Doula
Helping you achieve your desired birth and postpartum experience.
I’m Claire, a gentle, nurturing birth coach and doula and a mother of two girls age 12 and 9.
Your pregnancy and birth experience is completely unique to you, for this reason, I provide the parents with private, bespoke birth preparation, taking time to build trust, connection and to fully understand your pregnancy and your vision for the birth of your baby.
With nine years as a hypnobirthing coach and experience at many births, I will help you prepare for a calmer, more peaceful birth. I will guide you in understanding your body and mind, boosting your confidence to trust yourself and your baby. As your hypnobirthing coach or birth doula, I provide essential resources for navigating the NHS system, ensuring a safe, informed, and positive pregnancy experience ready for the incredible moment when you birth your baby.
Pregnancy, Birth & Postbirth Services
Hypnobirthing: Courses tailored specifically to you and your pregnancy. Taken at your home where you may wish labour to begin, I will listen carefully, and together we will work through what we need to focus on to enable you to trust your body, building more confidence in yourself and for birth whether this is your first or second pregnancy.
Doula Support: Guiding you towards the birth you want to have whether this is your first baby or third, unravelling what needs to be discussed and helping you to navigate the maternity system with confidence. I provide you with gentle, hands on and nurturing support for an overall positive birth experience.
Postnatal Support: Providing overnight support in the hospital or at your home after birth, allowing you to rest, heal and recover while offering emotional and practical guidance on feeding and your new role as a mother.
Breastfeeding Support: A visit to your home in the early days post birth to boost your breastfeeding confidence, check positioning and talk through any questions or concerns you may have.
Alexandra and Oscars Home Birth
Many births I support are in hospitals however, I was truly honoured to be their birth doula and to be present in the space where they welcomed their second baby, so calmly and confidently. To learn more about their thoughts and feelings after the joyful arrival of their second baby, you can read what they had to say on Google here.
My courses are designed to empower you with knowledge and confidence, helping you relax and feel in control as you prepare for birth. Together, we will explore your feelings and needs, ensuring that we tailor the hypnobirthing content to suit you best. You will learn effective breathing techniques for labour, discover optimal positions for comfort, and work on reshaping your narrative around your own birthing experience. This comprehensive 1:11 education will equip you with the tools necessary for a positive and informed birth journey.
You will;
Understand and trust your pregnant and birthing body
The power of hypnobirthing and the birth room, how it transforms birth
Connect as new parents to feel more in control together as a birth team
Practice implementing effective techniques during labour
Learn effective breathing, movement and calming relaxation for the big day
Create a trusting and relaxing environment for birthing your baby
Feel fully prepared in all births as we cover this in detail together
Hypnobirthing Courses
If you're in a large antenatal group like NCT or Bump and Baby, my hypnobirthing course offers in-depth knowledge and complementary tools. I will provide support, encouragement, and reassurance. For a second or third baby, a private course is ideal. I’ll listen to your past birth stories and help you prepare for your next birth. Working with an experienced trauma-trained birth doula ensures a gentle approach to covering everything.
Private or Group Learning?
What suits you best as a mother or birth team? Can you openly discuss your needs, or do you feel unanswered questions arise due to limited antenatal class size or brief midwife time?

Your perineum and childbirth
The perineum is the area between the vagina and the anus. This diamond-shaped area is comprised of a thin layer of subcutaneous tissue (aptly called perineal muscles) and skin. The perineum connects with the pelvic floor muscles, which support the pelvic organs such as the bowels and bladder. A damaged perineum may weaken the pelvic floor muscles.
